I just recently encountered this bug with a few users' posts and thought I'd open a thread for it.
When quoting posts, the inner text is eaten. a random </div> tag is added to the end of the quote.
From Wither's name rater
just now on ShineClan's discussion page
I've been doing a bit of troubleshooting, because I hadn't had any issues quoting posts for my own name rater throughout the day, and I think I've found out why some posts quote fine and others don't:
ALL THIS IS LIES, it's def the special characters causing the bug, I cannot recreate the bug with any other users that do not contain a <
so long as there is a line break, you can quote no problem. But if the comment is a single line/paragraph, it will break with the above bug.
(I'll post a single-line comment beneath this one, then a double, and others can test this with other threads too).
That being said, I still haven't really isolated what is causing the bug. Still working on that. But I thought I'd bring it up? idk it's a fun puzzle.
Some notes:
I've only ever seen this happen today, since this morning. I'll see if I can find any earlier instances, but the oldest occurrence I've encountered so far was 7hrs ago (at the time of this thread's creation)
I originally thought it had to do with special characters in some users' names, but was able to recreate the bug by quoting my own posts, and also was able to successfully quote posts from the same users on posts that contained a line break
This is back on the table, as I cannot cause my own posts or other users' posts to break, but those with special characters continue to break following the above pattern.
I still hold that this is caused by something reading the plaintext as a div with an invalid range. But there is no start <div> present in any of the misquoted text's code.
The quote appears as normal in preview, but breaks when posting or moving to the BBCode tab
